Stack Exchanges business model is dead after the advent of LLMs.

True.

The problem is that LLMs need to learn from somewhere, and Stack Exchange is a major source of knowledge. Once it's gone, LLMs may stagnate, or, even worse, suffer from model collapse, as they recursively rely on their own output.

If it hits the Moon, it will be at 8:36 AM UTC on December 22nd, 2032, plus or minus 1.5 hours.

That's a cloudy time of year in most of the Northern Hemisphere.

The Moon will be waning gibbous.

If there is an impact, it will be visible in North America.

Chile will also be in range, so the Atacama telescopes should have a good view. There's no risk of clouds there.

Here's the menu .

It doesn't look good for vegans, which is weird since it's in LA, where veggies and vegans are common, and the overlap between veganism and EV ownership is high.

Most restaurant owners understand that if a group of ten people go out to eat, they aren't going to a restaurant without vegan options if even one of the ten is vegan.

And, no, salad and fries are not enough.

Disclaimer: I'm a veggie but not a vegan.

Stock buybacks use cash to reduce outstanding equity, so any increase or decrease in value is concentrated in fewer outstanding shares.

If the stock goes up, the company can reissue stock at a higher price and end up with more cash than it started with.

If the stock goes down, the company is in trouble, with a lower stock price and fewer cash reserves.

Oh your right... Systems of government don't need to be implemented properly... That's all a myth.

Sorry fucktard. You morons had about two dozen opportunities to "implement it properly". You failed 100% of the time. Why? Simple. Communism doesn't work. Every single one of its core assumptions is false.

Capitalism hasn't been implemented properly either (as defined by Adam Smith). But at least when it fails, it sorta works.. It requires constant shepherding, but there's a reason that every single country where the standard of living is good is a CAPITALIST COUNTRY you massive fucktard.

Now point at an example of Communism that worked...

I don't see how you can fire a quarter of your staff and continue to support your products.

Intel's products aren't generating enough revenue, and they're losing money, so they don't have any choice.

Stock BuyBacks killed Intel.

Sure. Stock buybacks are magnifiers. If a CEO does a stock buyback and his strategy is successful, then the leveraged effect makes him look like a genius. But if the plan doesn't work, the leverage works in the opposite direction, and he looks like a fool.

Intel's strategy of designing chips and also running fabs is fundamentally flawed. Fabless AMD is doing well. Fabless Nvidia's market is forty times Intel's.

Intel needs to spin off its fabs.
